Gileles-Hillel Alex

I am an attending pediatric pulmonologist and sleep physician at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, Israel, and a senior lecturer in pediatrics at the Faculty of Medicine, The Hebrew University.  Between 2013-2015 I completed a post-doctoral research fellowship in the Section of Sleep Medicine at the University of Chicago under the mentorship of Prof. David Gozal and during 2018-2019 an additional research fellowship with Prof Eli Keshet at the Hebrew University. Originally from Minsk, former USSR, I live in Jerusalem, Israel. I earned my medical degree from Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical School in Jerusalem. I continued to pursue further post-graduate training in Pediatrics and Pediatric Pulmonology at Hadassah Medical Center. My clinical interests include Sleep Medicine, Pediatric Pulmonary Disorders, Cystic Fibrosis, and Obesity. I collaborate with researchers from psychology and decision-making fields to study the impact of shift work on resident physicians.  Finally, my research laboratory at Hadassah (supported by intramural and extramural funding) studies the role of Obstructive Sleep Apnea on the development of metabolic dysfunction and specifically the interactions between hypoxia, adipose tissue, and vasculature.
